Qian Renxue Kills Yu Xiaogang

Yu Xiaogang saw Flender arrive and shouted at him, "Flender, take me away quickly! These two are lunatics!"

Hearing this, Flender naturally shouted back at Yu Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, can you still hold on?"

After saying this, Flender used his soul power to seal the meridians in Yu Xiaogang's leg, stopping the bleeding and pain.

Then, Zhao Wuji and Flender intended to take Tang San and Yu Xiaogang away.

Tai Yi, however, had no intention of letting them leave just like that, so in the next second, he directly activated the domain skill of his third soul ability: Extreme Cold Prairie Fire.

A domain centered on Tai Yi instantly covered a radius of one kilometer, and Flender's group of four was immediately enveloped within it.

In the next second, two opposing attributes—extreme heat and extreme cold—unleashed within the domain, and for a moment, all four felt the immense power of this ability.

Zhao Wuji and Flender fared better; relying on the support of their soul power, they could barely resist the domain, yet even they were shivering and sweating while trapped inside.

Furthermore, their soul power was draining rapidly as they struggled to withstand the impact of the domain.

The two of them were managing, but the other two were not, especially Yu Xiaogang. When Tang San was struck by the alternating heat and cold, he immediately circulated his Mysterious Heaven Skill to defend himself.

Yu Xiaogang, however, was merely a twenty-ninth-level trash Great Soul Master, so under the impact of the domain, he was already rolling on the ground, completely devoid of any ability to resist.

The domain shrouded the four of them, intending to drain their lives through endless torment.

It was at this moment that Tai Yi looked at Flender and Zhao Wuji, who were still barely holding on. Originally, Tai Yi had not planned to eliminate these two; if they had fled with Shrek Academy, he would not have pursued the matter further.

But Tai Yi had not expected them to dare to return, let alone attempt to rescue the two people he had marked for death. Since they sought their own demise, Tai Yi decided they would not be leaving this place.

In the next second, Tai Yi's fourth soul ring flashed, and he unleashed his fourth soul ability, a ten-thousand-year soul skill: Golden Crow Scorching Heaven!

A Golden Crow manifested, erupting with powerful flames that engulfed Flender and Zhao Wuji.

Under the weight of this soul skill, the two who had previously been holding on could no longer sustain their defense. With a single strike, they were sent flying, vomiting blood and suffering grievous injuries.

Tai Yi did not stop there. Before Flender and Zhao Wuji could stabilize their injuries, he followed up with his third soul ability: Golden Crow Flame Devouring Strike!

Everything that followed left Yu Xiaogang, who had been screaming in agony, unable to speak. He watched as his longtime friend Flender and the man known as the Immovable Bright King, Zhao Wuji, were reduced to ashes by a young soul master, leaving not even a corpse behind.

Two Soul Saints had died right before his eyes.

But Yu Xiaogang had no time to dwell on this, as in the next second, he felt his body being ravaged once more by the extreme cold and heat.

He was soon down to his last breath.

At this moment, Qian Renxue walked up to Tai Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, cancel your soul skill. I want to personally eliminate this hypocrite, Yu Xiaogang."

Hearing this, Tai Yi nodded and deactivated his domain.

The moment the domain vanished, Tang San collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

Only then did Yu Xiaogang and Tang San look up at the two people before them. But when they saw Tai Yi's soul rings for the first time, they were both shocked; they saw two purple soul rings, followed by a red-and-blue third soul ring, and three black ten-thousand-year soul rings.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang no longer felt the pain in his body; instead, he felt a profound psychological trauma.

Yu Xiaogang stammered repeatedly, "Impossible, impossible! How can anyone have a thousand-year soul ring as their first? How is it possible? Why isn't it the optimal soul ring age ratio I proposed? It's impossible!"

The psychological damage stemmed from the fact that Yu Xiaogang had long styled himself as a Grandmaster of Martial Souls, the person in the entire continent who understood them best, and the author of the Ten Competitivenesses of Martial Souls. Now, someone stood before him, shattering all of his theories.

Yu Xiaogang wanted to ask Tai Yi how he had achieved this, desperate for an answer.

But Qian Renxue would not let him off so easily. In the next second, she swung her sword and severed Tang San's left arm, drawing another scream from Yu Xiaogang.

Qian Renxue did not hold back, delivering several more strikes. Soon, a bloody mess appeared on the ground: Yu Xiaogang, now reduced to a human torso, lay in a pool of his own blood.

Ever since Tai Yi had told her the truth about what happened back then, and after Qian Renxue had verified it with Qian Daoliu, she was no longer the indecisive person from the original story. The only people who could make her heart soften now were the elders of the Elder Palace and Tai Yi.

Looking down at the dying Yu Xiaogang, Qian Renxue gripped the Angel Holy Sword and swung it down, decapitating him and ending the life of the hypocrite Yu Xiaogang on the Douluo Continent once and for all.

Seeing this, Tai Yi gave Qian Renxue a thumbs-up.

Qian Renxue smiled at Tai Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, after you told me those things, I realized how foolish I had been. From now on, I won't live for others or to seek anyone's approval. I will live according to my own desires."

Tai Yi smiled at this, then turned his gaze toward Tang San on the ground.

Tai Yi did not waste words; fearing complications from a prolonged battle, he launched an attack at Tang San in the next second. Tang San, realizing this was meant to take his life, endured the agony throughout his body and hurriedly used his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Trace movement technique to dodge.

However, with little soul power left and having already been injured by Tai Yi's domain, he could not easily evade the strike. The attack landed on Tang San, who had failed to dodge completely.

With a final scream from Tang San, only his severed left arm remained where he had been standing.
